RE: Demise of MIDI?

[Mark@asisoftware.com (Mark Kata)]

I saw an article about ZIPI in Computer Music Journal a couple of years 
ago.  It was developed by Zeta Systems.  I don't remember anything about 
it either, but I remember being impressed by its capabilities.

Hey you customer reps at Oberheim, Boomerang and Lexicon:  Do you know 
anything about the demise of MIDI or the introduction of ZIPI?

About 2 years ago, I read some discussions on this topic.  I believe the
"replacement" is called ZIPI (or something like that).  It mainly corrects
many of the shortcomings of MIDI....like speed.   I think it was designed
by a manufacturer of guitar synths.  

Obviously I really don't remember that much about it.  Sorry.
